[CoLoCo] attention game junkies

[David L. Willson]

My favorite Linux games are (in no particular order): fillets (Fish
Fillets), lbreakout2, frozen-bubble, nexuiz, glob2 (Globulation 2),
gnomine, tuxracer, darwinia, doom3, ut2003 (Unreal Tournament 2003), and
oolite (an Elite clone).

I ~wish~ that there were a good Descent or Descent-clone for Linux.  All
I've found so far is stuph that sucks, and stuph that I'm not smart
enough to get built successfully.
